Finding Inspiration for a Pebble Patio and Stone Fire Pit

Since moving into a new house and removing a very, very large shrub, my husband and I have been hunting for patio and fire pit inspiration. The cleared space and ground stump left a natural clearing in the backyard (free of overhead obstructions like wires and branches), so we immediately began using it for campfires. It only seems efficient for us to continue to reinvent this space as a real patio, an intentional outdoor living space. Easier than finding grass seed to match the rest of the yard, am I right?

Located on the edge of our wooded backyard, it seems like round pebble gravel might be a good fit, with slate or field stones serving well as the border for a centered, inset fire pit. Classic camping style. If only it was on a beach like this fieldstone fire pit. It’s dreamy.

There’s still a substantial amount of planning and work that goes into installing a patio, so we’ll begin the process this fall and winter with a plan of puttin’ her in the ground next spring.

If the fire pit above has you swooning like me, you’ll enjoy browsing through this gallery of expert-designed fireplaces and fire pits. Then tell me: Have you come across any other inspired fire pits? Share in the comments!

Wow, what a stunning transformation! I have always loved to have a patio of my own in my backyard but it seems that the effort needed and the skills to achieve one of those are just too hard to come by. Anyhow, I think you did a pretty impressive job creating a dull backyard into a homely one. I think now you would have one more reason to stop yourself from moving out and stay put at this beautiful abode for long.

Love the sand! Great idea like the fire pit is on the beach. I'm still a fan of the portable fire pits. We have a big back yard and like to move it around for a different view when the mood arises. We have a fire bowl cut out in the shape of the earth.

This Pebble Patio and Stone Fire Pit inspired me. Lovely. Much like a hearth is part of a room, make the fire pit a gathering point on your patio. Utilize unused space in your yard by giving your fire pit its own area.
